Spend one night or a few in our retired travelling van, cosied up with the wood-burner lit or door wide open to enjoy the view in the summer. Sit on the stoop to watch the chickens go to the neighbours barn for their breakfast, make a cup of tea on the gas stove, and enjoy the peace + quiet of life without electricity. Facilities are basic here but the stars are very bright!
PLEASE READ FULL DESCRIPTION BEFORE BOOKING!
Price includes £5 cleaning fee, this is to give discount for longer stays ;)

We are a working smallholding with sheep and horses as well as chickens and ducks. You are welcome to come hang out with the animals, and we can point you in the direction of some nice walks up in the forest further up our hill. We take on volunteers through the warmer months to help us with gardening and building projects, and often have friends and family to visit. The van has its own little space to chill out in with a great view across the hills, so if you'd like just to have some time on your own you can, although our friendly dog Molly may come to see if you want to play with her if we are busy and you look more fun!
The van itself was the home of one of our good friends for many years and holds lots of special memories. It travelled all over the UK, from forests to festivals, free parties to mountains, and even witnessed the birth of his daughter! When it became in need of too much work to pass another MOT, it didn't seem right for it to go to the scrapyard, so it came here to live and be loved.
****Please remember that this is an old campervan, not a hotel room. We endeavour to maintain it to be clean, tidy and comfortable; however it will always be "rustic" rather than "luxury" accommodation. We are working on building our house and landscaping our garden, so your surroundings will be "work in progress" rather than "nicely manicured."
This is clearly reflected in the price. The cleaning fee goes directly to our lovely neighbour who does the laundry as we don't have a washing machine yet. If you would like to earn a 5* review and a please leave the van as tidy as you can. :) The remainder of your financial contribution is shared between a savings fund for the little girl who was born in the van, Luna, set up by her daddy, and with ourselves. We are building an off-grid and traditional skills education centre on our land, and your holiday will help to fund us to teach people of all ages exciting things like blacksmithing, massage, herbal medicine, animal husbandry, making home-brew and all about alternative energy. Thank you! ;) ****
If you would like an off-grid experience with a little more luxury, have a look at our other listing 'The Hut on the Hill.'

We love our hill! We are up a kind of secret track, with a handful of other houses. Our neighbours are lovely and you may well bump into one of them if you head off for a walk. Molly our dog is usually happy to go for a walk too and can show you the Hill. ;) The feeling here is peaceful and relaxed, with the odd tractor! We are next to working farms on three sides and forest further up the hill, so mostly the company is four legged. There is plenty of solitude and great views to be had if you take a short walk up in the forest.

Kate and Jimmy were really great hosts. The stay was just what we wanted... peace and quiet, fresh air, countryside walks. At this time of year it can still be quite cold but the van warms up really quickly with the wood burner.

Marcela2017-04-17T00:00:00Z

Great stay on the hill. Definitely a unique place to lay your head in the beautiful and tranquil highlands. Lots of nice hikes in the area, great proximity to many A+ distilleries. Kate and Jimmy are very accommodating and friendly. We enjoyed having a fire, dinner, and a wee dram with them our first night. "Roughing it" in the van is probably not every one's cup of tea, but if you're looking for a rustic getaway out in the country this is a great place to go!

Paul2017-03-28T00:00:00Z

Fantastic stay with Kate and Jimmy at their croft. Wish we had booked to stay more than one night but were on a tour so sadly had to move on. Will definitely be coming back as it was such a beautiful location, the van was cosy and the hosts welcoming (including the dog, chicks and ponies!). The area is perfect for long walks where you will not see another human being for hours. Make sure you have all you need though as nearest supermarket is in Huntly which is about 7 miles away. It is pretty much camping with a few extra amenities. The van is beautifully decorated and I felt right at home. We have been raving about this place to friends and family since we got back :)

Elizabeth2017-05-04T00:00:00Z

Kate and Ian are fantastic hosts, providing great location with beautiful views. The Van on the hill is comfortable and we slept well, there is a wood burning heater and a cooker. Most of our time was spent walking and cycling round the many path ways. great find

My place is close to great views, art and culture, restaurants and dining, the beach, and family-friendly activities. You’ll love my place because of the ambiance, the outdoors space, the neighbourhood, and the comfy bed. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travellers, families (with kids), and furry friends (pets).

Located in the picturesque hamlet of Glass and only 10 minutes from Dufftown, heart of the Speyside whisky trail, we are surrounded by hills, wildlife, castles, golf courses, and a host of family friendly amenities all within easy reach by car.

There are beautiful countryside and riverside walks all around us with an abundance of bird and wildlife. Please ask us if you need advice on where to go

There is a huge variety of things to see and do virtually on our doorstep. A picnic on the beach, by the river or in the heathery hills? Cycling along the Speyside Way? Kayaking on river or loch? Golf, castles, skiing, fishing, riding, stalking, whisky tours, mountains, boat trips for dolphin, whale and seal watching, to name but a few!

Debbie was very friendly and the house was brilliant. Everything we needed and in a beautiful location, although a bit too far from nearby towns to walk to the pub. Still I would definitely recommend!

William2016-10-30T00:00:00Z

Smithy Cottage is wonderful & we loved our stay. Its a cosy place, located in the middle of countryside. And the fireplace in the living room is awesome ! Debbie was very helpful during our stay. We took some time finding the place; having a map with detailed directions would have helped.

Amit2016-06-18T00:00:00Z

Lovely place. Reminded me very much of my mother's cottage in France. Woodburner is a real bonus. Back garden is lovely in the sunshine. Kitchen is small, but fine for preparing small meals and snacks. I enjoyed the place very much and would definitely use again. local area is beautiful.

Very nice welcome from our lovely host Debbie. We greatly appreciated the little touches like the chocolate santa's for each of us, Christmas decorations and children's books and toys. Smithy cottage is in a lovely location, very peaceful indeed. Barely saw any passing traffic during our stay! We did a lot of walking, sometimes straight from the cottage or just driving a short distance. Found Huntley to be a very nice town close by. Many thanks for a delightful time!

Becks & Chris2017-01-03T00:00:00Z

The cottage is cozy and charming, clean and well equipped. However it is located in the midst of the Scottish highlands and in a rather remote area. The nearest village is about 10-15 mins away .There are many routes to the cottage and it is advisable to goggle to find the most convenient route, and avoid going through narrow farm lanes especially for overseas visitors unfamiliar with the terrain. The living room has a nice fireplace but for folks like us from the tropics and being there in Autumn, I find the rest of the house a bit cold. Debbie was an excellent host; she took us through the house and provided us with useful recommendations for eateries and nearby facilities.

House is as described. Lovely stay with our friends and our dog. We loved walking our dog (on a lead as breeding season for birds and deer) in the 500 acres of forest and hills around the cottage. We also had a great walk in Bin forest which was about 5 mins drive away.

Off-grid Shepherd's Hut in a peaceful, rural location in Aberdeenshire, perfectly placed for exploring our beautiful coastline, distilleries and hiking. Here you will have a taste of the simple life without sacrificing on comfort - wake up to birdsong and a view of rolling hills, enjoy coffee and a newspaper on the decking, take a walk up into the forest greeting the ponies as you pass, and sleep deeply after a beautiful sunset and a cosy evening with the wood-burner toasting your toes.

We are a working smallholding with sheep and horses as well as chickens and ducks.

We take on volunteers through the warmers months to help us with gardening and building projects, including renovating our croft, landscaping the garden, planting lots of trees, creating a forest garden and growing lots of vegetables. The Shepherd's Hut is apart from our living area at the top end of our land so you will have your own quiet space, but if you are interested in what we are doing you can take a look around the garden. The Hut has been built to contain everything you might need to enjoy a few days rest. Up on the mezzanine there is a good quality double futon bed with a firm mattress, feather pillows and duvet. If you prefer you can sleep on the pull-out bed downstairs, which is designed to be comfortable enough to be used daily and put away during the day very easily.

We had a wonderful time at the cottage. What an amazing setting! The area is idyllic and secluded in the countryside next to a stunning river - but still not far from nearby towns and whiskey distilleries. The house was comfortable and had all the kitchen furnishings to let us make a delicious dinner at home and enjoy a crackling fire.

Working beef and sheep farm , located at bottom of the Balloch hill in beautiful countryside right in the heart of distillery country.

We were so delighted when arriving on the farm of Aileen and Alan, because it all looked as if it was just taken from a movie: a nice two storey farm house surrounded by meadows where sheeps and cows are around. Aileen was taking care of us in such a thoughtful way it all was fabulous. The rooms are both very spacious and have their own little bathrooms, the breakfast was provided in a dining room and it was really delicious (toast, eggs, fruit ...). Just talk to Aileen what kind of breakfast you'd prefer - cereals, some fruit as well as tea and coffee are there anytime. We very much enjoyed our stay there, or kids played around outside with the dog or the two cats or helped feeding the lambs. It is a great place to stay if you like it a little quiet. It is easy to reach attractions like the cooperage in Craigelachie or of course all the destilleries along the Spey River by car. We always would go back there! Thanks to Aileen and Alan for making us having two perfect days!

Originally built around 1817, as a manse for the local church, set in 10 acres of Glebe, including a walled garden.
Not overlooked, wildlife haven
20 minutes to the spectacular Moray Coast. Perfect base for The Whisky Trail, Castle Trail, Speyside Way & Salmon and Trout fishing.

This bedroom has an ensuite shower room with a power shower. It is a large, quiet room, recently decorated and looks out to the rear of the property.
The kingsize bed has a cosy duvet, 100% cotton sheets and an electric blanket for extra warmth on those chilly nights!
We have antique furniture all around the house, including the wardrobe, dressing table and chairs in this room.
Breakfast is continental style - you can expect homemade jams/preserves, homemade granola and sometimes (!) homemade bread. Fruit from the garden when in season and eggs from our chickens when they are laying!
Being aware of our carbon footprint, we made the decision to install a biomass heating system. We also installed a wind turbine to provide us with electric for our property, this is visible from the rear of the property.
We encourage wildlife to the garden with sympathetic plantings and a pond, which is home to frogs, toads, newts and visiting ducks.
Fiona is happiest cooking, pottering in the walled garden (or sweating blood and tears!), chatting with her chickens or walking the dogs.

Fiona & Godfrey are great people! The estate is a very nice place to stay in the Countryside of Speyside. And the hospitality is wonderful. Great launching spot for touring the local distilleries!

Fiona and Godfrey were amazing hosts. Talking to them curled up in front of the fireplace was one the highlights of our trip. Fiona made us amazing breakfast in the morning. The house is absolutely beautiful. We were really sad that we just had one short night stay at their place. We are really looking forward to going back to Scotland so that we can spend more time at their place.
